  • An anthropology of contemporary art : practices, markets, and collectors
    Drawing on the exciting developments that have occurred in the anthropology of art over the last twenty years, this study uses ethnographic methods to explore shifts in the art market and global ... contemporary art. Recognizing the need for research on the ground, it examines the various component parts, from art markets through auction houses to networks of collectors, that constitute the global art world. Divided into four parts-Picture and Medium; World Art Studies and Global Art; Art Markets, Maecenas and Collectors; Participatory Art and Collaboration-the chapters go beyond the standard emphasis on Europe and North America to present first-hand fieldwork from a wide range of areas, including Brazil, Turkey, Asia and the Pacific. With contributions from Philippe Descola and Roger Sansi Roca, this book provides a fresh approach to key topics in the discipline. A model for demonstrating how contemporary art can be studied ethnographically, this is a vital read for students in anthropology of art, visual anthropology, visual culture, and related fields.
